Generating PDF report using charts,tables, images and paragraphs by using Python ReportLab

Creating PDF report by using charts, table, graphs with text paragraphs by combination of components

We are adding five different components to our report. We created the images , charts, graphs and paragraphs separately and imported them to our main.py file. ( download the Zip file below with all source codes/ files )

from chart_verticalbar_chart import d
from table_1_basic import t 
from chart_linechart import line_chart
from paragraph1 import p1,p2,p3
from chart_2_circle import d_circle

We set the path with file name in our main.py file and this file finally creates the PDF document.

my_path='G:\\My drive\\testing\\pypdf2\\my_pdf.pdf'

from chart_verticalbar_chart import d
d.wrapOn(c,400,400)
d.drawOn(c, 3*inch,7.5*inch)   # vertical bar chart

Adding table

Table from different data sources to PDF file

from table_1_basic import t 
t.wrapOn(c, width, height)     
t.drawOn(c,3.6*inch, 5.6*inch) # table at right side

Adding Paragraphs

Paragraph

from paragraph1 import p1,p2,p3
p1.wrapOn(c, 200, 200)
p1.drawOn(c, .6*inch,9.4*inch) # top paragraph of text 
p2.wrapOn(c, 200, 200)         
p2.drawOn(c, .6*inch,6.4*inch) # middle paragraph of text 
p3.wrapOn(c, 200, 200)
p3.drawOn(c, .6*inch,4.4*inch) # last paragraph of text

Adding shapes ( Circles )

PDF Circles & Shapes

from chart_2_circle import d_circle
d_circle.wrapOn(c, 100, 100)
d_circle.drawOn(c, 4*inch,2.4*inch) # circles drawn at right

Adding Line chart

Line charts in PDF

from chart_linechart import line_chart
line_chart.wrapOn(c, 810, 200)
line_chart.drawOn(c, .6*inch,.1*inch) # line chart at bottom

Full code is here.

main.py

from reportlab.pdfgen import canvas
from reportlab.lib.pagesizes import letter
from reportlab.lib.units import inch
from chart_verticalbar_chart import d
from table_1_basic import t 
from chart_linechart import line_chart
from paragraph1 import p1,p2,p3
from chart_2_circle import d_circle
my_path='G:\\My drive\\testing\\pypdf2\\my_pdf.pdf' 
c = canvas.Canvas(my_path, pagesize=letter)
width, height = letter
c.drawImage('D:\\top2.jpg',.1*inch,10*inch)  # image at left side top 
d.wrapOn(c,400,400)
d.drawOn(c, 3*inch,7.5*inch)   # vertical bar chart 
t.wrapOn(c, width, height)     
t.drawOn(c,3.6*inch, 5.6*inch) # table at right side
p1.wrapOn(c, 200, 200)
p1.drawOn(c, .6*inch,9.4*inch) # top paragraph of text 
p2.wrapOn(c, 200, 200)         
p2.drawOn(c, .6*inch,6.4*inch) # middle paragraph of text 
p3.wrapOn(c, 200, 200)
p3.drawOn(c, .6*inch,4.4*inch) # last paragraph of text 
d_circle.wrapOn(c, 100, 100)
d_circle.drawOn(c, 4*inch,2.4*inch) # circles drawn at right
